Tonia Reeh - vocals, piano
 Rudi Fischerlehner – drums La Tourette is as intense and emotional as a duo can be. "Their complexity and dynamic range compete with much bigger bands", according to a concert review in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. On the surface some of the songs appear as fluorescent pop music pearls, and that´s what they are. But once seduced and pulled deeper into the world of La Tourette one finds even more to explore than just great songs: endless layers of influences and collisions with different musical styles and soundworlds - from experimental to african, hip hop to punk, and opera to soundscapes - make this an album you will never get bored with and which could only be made by two musicians with long and rich backgrounds such as Reeh and Fischerlehner. Tonia Reeh is best known for her solo work as Monotekktoni and as the front singer for rock bands Masonne and Das zuckende Vakuum. Around 2010 she took a surprising twist: leaving samplers, keyboards and guitar amps behind she returned to acoustic solo music focusing on the possibilities available with the simple combination of piano and voice, an exploration that is impressively documented on two albums released by Hamburg based label Clouds Hill. In 2014 she started touring with Rudi Fischerlehner - who, as a drummer, is mostly associated with the likes of Olaf Rupp, Gorilla Mask and Fiium Shaarrk - with the idea of recreating some of the percussion effects used on her solo albums in live concerts. Over time the influence of Fischerlehner´s sensitive and unorthodox drum and percussion styles melded the sound of the duo into something exciting and fresh - it could no longer be seen as "a solo thing with accompaniment". It was time to face the fact that this project had turned into a band, and the band was given the name "La Tourette". La Tourette has recently recorded a unique album, which is waiting to be heard by the world.
